Abstract Background Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) channels are constitutively active water channels
that allow rapid transmembrane osmotic water flux, and also serve as cyclic-GMP-gated ion …

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a member of the membrane intrinsic protein (MIP) gene family and is
known to provide pathways for water flux across cell membranes. We show here that cloned …

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a membrane channel that allows rapid water movement driven by a
transmembrane osmotic gradient. It was claimed to have a secondary function as a cyclic …

Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) channels contribute to osmotically induced water transport in several
organs including the kidney and serosal membranes such as the peritoneum and the pleura …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP)-regulated phosphorylation of the water channel aquaporin-2
(AQP2) at serine 256 (S256) is essential for its accumulation in the apical plasma membrane …

Aquaporin 6 (AQP6) is unique among mammalian AQPs in being an anion channel with
negligible water permeability. However, the point mutation Asn60Gly converts AQP6 from an …

Aquaporin-6 (AQP6) has recently been identified as an intracellular vesicle water channel
with anion permeability that is activated by low pH or HgCl 2. Here we present direct …

Previously, the only known blockers of water permeability through aquaporin-1 (AQP1)
water channels were mercurial reagents such as HgCl2. For AQP1, inhibition by mercury …

In addition to a constitutive water channel activity, several studies suggest Aquaporin-1
(AQP1) functions as a nonselective monovalent cation channel activated by intracellular …

Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) is a water channel found in the basolateral cell membrane of principal
cells of the renal collecting tubule as well as in other epithelia. To examine the selectivity of …
